Tough on crime -- NM woman jailed for overdue book

Ordinarily I would be opposed to this.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—A New Mexico woman was arrested and spent a night in jail for not returning the book "Twilight" and two-DVD set "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" back to the Portales Public Library on time.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that Lori Teel was arrested and handcuffed at her Portales home in front of her five small children earlier this month because of $35.98 worth of library materials allegedly not returned since 2010.

But the book was "Twilight." So maybe an extended sentence might be in order.
